Ascent of Westerhope on 2013-09-20

Ascent Trip Report

Highpoint of Newcastle-upon-Tyne Unitary Authority.

The trig point is out of reach, located in the back garden of number 15 Wedmore Road, however you can get a glimpse of it if you wade through the nettles and brambles between the path and the property boundary and peer around the fence. In any case the adjacent ground south of the fence is equally high and the grassy top of the covered reservoir is even higher. Remarkably good views for the location. Easy to park in Wedmore Road and walk south around the electricity substation to the summit area.
